Gun Control on Steroids!

‘Gun owners in Iowa need to sit up and realize that it’s not the Fall of 2016 anymore, and they have lost the momentum in the fight for the Second Amendment.’

This is what a long-time political consultant in Iowa told me in a meeting late this week, after watching clips from the recent democratic gubernatorial primary.

And honestly, he’s mostly right.

You see, in the fall of 2016, Iowa Gun Owners members crushed the anti-gun state senate and removed six of six anti-gun incumbents.

This led to the flip of the Iowa Senate and a pro-gun legislature for the first time since the 1990’s — and also made it possible to pass Stand-Your-Ground law in 2017.

But that was then.

The landscape looks a lot different in Iowa now, as it does around the nation, in the fight for the Second Amendment.

Simply put: gun owners are losing momentum in Iowa.

Don’t take my word for it, take a look around at where we are legislatively and in the court of public opinion.

In the last legislative session, House leadership lost their nerve and killed Constitutional Carry, stating that they don’t have the votes to pass it –- the same bill that is already law in over a dozen other states.

And right now, in advance of the June 5 primary, anti-gun democratic gubernatorial primary candidates are racing to see who can have the most radical gun control agenda!

You see, even though Hillary Clinton ran on a hard core gun control platform here in Iowa — and lost by a smashing 10% — current day gubernatorial primary candidates are betting the tide has turned back in their favor.

And make no mistake, they are not talking about ‘minor gun control,’ whatever that means.

First, check out what Nate Boulton, a member of the Iowa Senate, wants to do as your next Governor.
